I am a licensed master plumber with over 15 years in the business of construction, alteration and service in New York City. In that time I have striven to succeed in every way possible within the industry. I've worked my way through every aspect of the business to become a well rounded professional who is capable of leading a project through from start to finish. At this time, I am licensed in 17 jurisdictions in and around New York City, and am the proud owner of an active plumbing company.

Some of the many things which I may be of service include consulting on the following: The codes as they relate to Plumbing, Gasfitting, and Mechanical (Boiler) conditions; craft techniques and the proper, expert application thereof - such as soldering, brazing, lead work, welding, plastic work, cast iron work, medical gas installation, backflow prevention device design, installation & maintenance, and all that relate to the plumbing & pipe fitting trade; boilers, space heating systems & their design, installation and service; fuel gas & fuel oil piping, storage, delivery and combustion; extensive OSHA regulation and practice as relates specifically to the construction industry; commercial rigging and crane involvement in the construction process; managing a plumbing project including the manpower and budget resources at your disposal; negotiating a contract with either a client, a prime contractor or a subcontractor; working within and around a trade union; contract administration and approach to related conflict; and general business practices of a construction, alteration and service firm.

I am a union member in good standing of over 10 years, a member of the American Society of Sanitary Engineers as well as the Master Plumbers Council and other professional and business organizations. I have served as an instructor at the Plumber's Local Union #1 training center in Sunnyside, NY, and have tutored many tradespeople when requested to help them take and pass their professional exams. I have undergone formal training in communication, negotiation, alternative conflict resolution and arbitration.

I am available to you as an expert witness as relates to litigation and contract resolution. You'll find that my ability to communicate directly to a jury stems from my time as a teacher, and I pride myself on having a patient disposition. An additional advantage I bring to the courtroom is my bona fide set of working man's credentials – I speak directly to the jury as a middle class, hard working professional with years of experience in a tough field.

In short, you'll find that I have a creative mind and have absorbed much of what a person can about the industry that I call home. In addition to my listed experiences and education below, character references from attorneys, substantiating documents, and further qualifications can be provided for further review.
